Abstract

Medicinal eukaryotes such as plants and fungi have prompted researchers to conduct extensive studies on their medicinal values for drug discovery. Current trends focus on bioactive compounds of medicinal plants to produce inventions in the medical and health fields. Among many bioactive compounds polysaccharides attract attention because they are non-toxic and have no side effects. Polysaccharides have been widely used in food and pharmaceutical industries as a secondary ingredient for several decades. This paper reviewed the applications of polysaccharides as wound healing agents. Wounds can affect the patients well-being self-image working capacity and independence. Research studies on different sources of polysaccharides by in vitro and in vivo model have been investigated. Based on the scientific evidence related to polysaccharides this work will be a baseline study for future investigations in different fields. All literature was accessed through available electronic databases.
